Institutional Collaborations
IARU fosters collaboration in research, education, and university operations, leveraging the diversity among its members to create rich opportunities for shared learning.
IARU promotes collaboration not only in research and education, but also in how its member universities are run. Through various working groups and initiatives, professional and administrative staff across institutions connect to share expertise, compare approaches, and address shared challenges.
These groups focus on a wide range of topics, and by fostering dialogue and joint learning across operational areas, IARU strengthens professional networks and encourages innovation in university administration.
IARU’s working groups and initiatives greatly benefit from the expertise and energy of their members. To support their efforts, the IARU Working Group Handbook provides practical guidance and information for group members and leaders.
